The perfect escape for couples and outdoor adventurers seeking a peaceful hideaway, the Martineau Bay Resort & Spa in Vieques, Puerto Rico, overlooks secluded beaches, where horseback riding, snorkeling, boating, kayaking and the world famous bioluminescent Mosquito Bay rule the day. Located only five miles from the San Juan International Airport, thrill seekers at the hotel can book after dark bay tours and rent snorkeling gear, kayaks, and windsurfing equipment. In addition to touring museums, cafes and shops in town, guests can visit nearby Navio Beach, where the 1990 movie Lord of the Flies was filmed.
Beach enthusiasts can descend stairways down a 10 foot bluff to the sand for swimming, sunning and viewing the far off islands. Visitors can relax around the two level pool and sip frozen concoctions from the swim up bar. The area also features a section for children and a coral stone sundeck. The 5,500 square foot spa features a sea view fitness center, four person whirlpools, steam rooms, saunas, massages and papaya pineapple scrubs.
For on site dining, the Paso Fino specializes in buffets and delicacies like conch bisque, lobster empanadas, coconut prawns, lamb chops, and steak in peppercorn sauce. The open air Isla Nena Grill serves burgers, pizza and quesadillas, while spirits and live music mix in the Taino Bar. Other perks include complimentary Internet access in the resorts main building.
In 17 yellow buildings, the 156 plantation style guestrooms are some of the Caribbeans largest, measuring at least 600 square feet. Furnished like Spanish villas with patterned tiles and wrought iron fixtures, they offer air conditioning, bamboo chairs and floor lamps, wood paddle ceiling fans, CD players, sunken bathtubs, and balconies/terraces with teak furniture and spectacular ocean views.
